Notes
n Dragon can auto-format text and numbers using standard writing con-
ventions or apply Word Properties to words as you dictate. For infor-
mation about these settings, see Auto-formatting dialog box and The
Word Properties dialog box.
n Dragon's Smart Format Rules appear when you correct auto-formatted
alphanumeric text or Word Properties using the Correction menu, the
Spelling window, or the keyboard. For details, see Using Smart Format
Rules and Setting Auto-Formatting Options.
n When you use the "select" or "correct" command to select any part of a
hyphenated word or a hyphen, Dragon selects the entire hyphenation. For
example, in the hyphenated word "brother-in-law" if you say "correct
brother"because you only need to change that, Dragon selects "brother-
in-law."
